INSTRUCTIONS

                            TetriST  v. 1.0
                             by Steven Lee
                               May 1989

TetriST is similar to the game of the same name (well almost).  Click under
"About TetriST" for rules and options.
TETRIST.ARC should contain the following files:
	
	TETRIST.PRG
	TETRIST.NEO
	SHAPES.NEO
	README
	
Leave your disk unprotected since it will create a high score file.

Bug Report:
The only noticeable bug occurs when you click on "Start" and quickly (and I
mean quickly) move the mouse to the menu bar.  It seems to trigger another
menu selection.  Since TetriST uses two screens for smooth movements, you
get a flicker effect with one screen showing the menu options and one that
doesn't.  I've tried to stop mouse movements as soon as a menu option was
chosen by using Bconout(4, 18) and vex_motv (VDI function) to no avail.
It seems that by the time I've detected the menu selection, you can move
the mouse back in the menu bar.  If anyone has any suggestions, please
write to me at:

Enjoy!
